by nn earlier introduction of prevo-
cational work and of subjects usually
tauptit in the high school. Thre are
now 57 cities in we i n' .ea Mates
where Junior hltfh sc-.iools are or-l-an
izid In unrniHtakable form.
"One advantage claimed oi the
junior h.Rh school " declares Dr.
ISrif-'frs "is that it groups children
ho that subjects seldom taught in the
grammar grades may be introduced
thereby K'v'ng each pupil a more in-
telligent understanding of the work
of the world of the posslbi: ties in
the subject and in the iiujdl himself.
"The junior nigh school also makes
; easier the transition of pupils to the
I high school. That the change betw een
I the elementary and the .Wgh school
: should be so sharp permits no Justl-
ficat;on. To bridge this gap by ear-
lier introduction tQ high gchool sub
jects and methods of
teaching has j
greatly improved results it is
claimed.
"The Junior high school has further-
more greatly decreased elimination of
pupils from school. This elimination
after the seventh eighth and ninth
grades has been one of the greatest
reproaches to our educational system.
Any plan that promises to retain chil
dren In school beyond these grades
Is worthy of the most careful con-
sideration." The statistics given by Dr. nrigjfs
show that a much larger per cent of
students enter high school where Jun-
ior high schools exist than before
they were organized.
That the Junior high school fur-
nishes an opportunity for various
needed reforms In instruction is the
final claim of the new movement ac-
cording to I.r. I.'riggs. He points out
that In the junior high nchool a
course or study based on tne newer
principles of psychology sociology
and economics various provisions for
individual differences and especially
an improved method of teaching can
be Introduced.
Js Angeles K'al.) hli;h school;
ISutte (Mont.) high school; Wiscon-
sin high school Madison "Wis.; and
Horace Mann school New York City
are cited as successfully organized
junior high schools "I08 Angeles
having far outstripped all other cities
in developing them.'

dance of rain. Now Is the time to
plant turnip seed. The coin and cot-
ton crop Is fine. Some crrn in this
iciniiv will yield '.' bushels per
acre .lames ponder and Henry Fow-
ler have the best mm we have seen
in the (iraliani district also the best
cotton. It. C. Kieketts has the best
and largest sweet potato crop. The
watermelon crop is fine; the niilo
maize and kafir will be a failure

ANGER OF
GIN MIXED
GDTTDN SEED
GROWER UNLESS HE AND THE
GINNER TAKE PRECAUTION
MAY GET 16 PER CENT OF HIS
NEIGHBOR'S VARIETY.
Washington. D. C Aug. 26 Few
cotton growers realize when they take
back seed from an ordinary gin to use
n planting the next crop the extent
to which their seed may be mixed
with the seed of the cotton ginned
iust Drevioua to their lot. Yet this
matter Is of vital importance to all
cotton raisers who wish to grow a uni
form variety of cotton. As every stu
dent of cotton breeding knows even
a few seeds of another variety in a
cotton field may through cross fer-
tilization cause interbreeding and de-
terioration in a large number of plants.
Instead of getting only a few seeds
from a neighbor's lot of cotton howev-
er actual investigations by specialists
of the department of agriculture b!iow
that In certain cases a lot of seed will
contain as much as 14 to 16 per cer.t
of seed left In the gin boxes from
the cotton ginned just before. In
the eases Investigated not only has
there been a large percentage of seed
from the variety ginned just previous-
ly but it Is found that some seeds may
remain from the second bale preced-
ing. It follows therefore that a grow-
er may very readily mix one or two
other varieties with his special kind
of seed.
Where a grower is particular about
his seed he can greatly minimize the
mixing by quick simple and inex-
pensive measures In which the aver-
age ginner will be glad to co-operate.
The following precautions which seem
to be entirely practicable and which
in fact are now exercised in some lo-
calities are strongly recommended In
department bulletin No. 228 Custom
Ginning as a Factor in Cotton-Seed
Deterioration soon to be Issued.
The patron should accompany to the
pin the lot of seed cotton from which
he expects to save seed for planting
and he should aid the ginner in see-
ing that everything possible is done
to prevent mixing.
He should see that the flues feed
ers and cleaners are cleaned as thor-
oughly us their construction will per-
mit before he allows his seed cotton
to enter them.
The rolls should be dropped from the
roll box anil the bo should be thor-
oughly cleaned. The dropping of the
roll is an operation with which all
I'inners are familiar. The construc-
tion of the gins is such that the roll
ran lie dropped and the box cleaned
in a very few minutes. Some Im-
proved L'ins are arranged so that the
roll box may be emptied without stop-
ping the gin. thereby further simpli-
lying the operation.
Having (leaned the machinery up
to and including the roll box. the next
Mop is to previ nt the seed of the va-
riety to be ginned from falling into
the conveyor. It is imprartirnbli! to
clean the conveyor satisfactorily and
therefore It should not be used when
planting seed is to be obtained. Ily
adjusting the position of the apron of
each gin the seed can be made to
fall upon the floor In front of the gin
instead of into the conveyor. From
here it can be sacked easily.
The floors about the gins should be
cleaned to the extent that no seeds
are left lying around to cause mix-
ing. Canvas spread upon the floor to
receive the seed from the gins is oft-
en used.
Such precautions require time in
which to carry them out effectively.
and time spent in this manner natur-
ally reduces somewhat the amount of
ginning that otherwise could be done
in a day. On this point the ginner may
find cause to base objection to such
procedure but it should be possible to
meet the objection by fully compensat-
ing him for the extra time consumed.
The expense of special ginning in
some sections may be reduced by ar-
ranging to have it done on specified
days or at the close of the season
when more time Is available. In any
event the amount of money that may
be required to secure the ginner's co-
operation in the maintenance of pure
seed is almost negligible in view of
the favorable effect such precautions
will have upon the farmer's crops in
succeeding years.

LARGE AREA
ALL THE LOWER PORTION OF
CITY OF CANTON IS UNDER
WATER PEOPLE ALONG RIVER
SUFFERING TERRIBLY.
Peking. Aug. 25. The flcods in tbe
IT
canton delta are tne wor.t mat naveiof Enga nas been invaded by worn-
been experienced in many years. All j en over 2u0 of them are now
the low portions of the city of Canton j employed in the bank in various forms
are under water includin? the island j of ciericai work while it Is the war
of Shameea on which the foreign
consulates including the American
are situated. The American gunboat
"Wilmington" has been placed at tha
disposal of the relief committee at
Hong Kong for the purpose of carry-
ing food to the destitute people. Navi-
gation up and down th: rivers Is
difficult and dangerous not only
owing to the terrific rus.i of water
but also because of the fact that
buoys and other aids to navigation
have been washed away. The enor-
mous population that lives on small
boats along the Canton rivers and
canals often a whole family living
on a boat twelve feet long are suf-
fering no less terribly thaa the people
who have been driven to the upper
floors or roofs of their poor habita-
tions. It is said that junk loads of corpses
are to be seen from time to time
afloat upon the rivers and naturally
many bodies. No estimate can yet
be made of the loss of lite but it is
supposed that it will number many
thousands and those people who sur-
vive the flood must subsequently face
the usual famine and pe3t')ence that
will follow. The governor fo Kwang-
tung reports to the central govern-
ment that a fire destroyed two thou-
sand houses in Canton burning oil
floating from one house to another on
the current of the flood.
Fires have caused groat devasta-
tion. The entire length of Tung-
hingkai has been swept av.ay by fire
and water
Hundreds of men women
and children taking refuge on the
housetops in the fire zone during the
conflagration stood between death by
tire or water. Those who elected to
leap into the water were drowned
while others were incinerated. A
sold er shot dead one ruffian who was
attempting renewed ince idiarism. A
grueome spectacle was witnessed
when seventeen corpses were re-
moved from the Chinese postoffice.
The soldiers worked magnificently
rescuing women from the canal near
the French bridge and renoving them
to the hospital. While engaged in
rescue work many soldiers were
drowned. The staff of a Japanese
lirm. Messrs. Mitsui Ilnsran Kaisha

concession. The police vi re helpless
to suppress extensive looting. I'eople
on the Shameen could hear distinctly
revolver shots being exchanged be-
tween robbers and the police in the
neighborhood of the canal. Food is
at famine prices. Missionaries and
other foreigners have bee i amply pro-
vided for from Hong Kong
Wealthy Chinese and I.ritishers at
Hong Kong have organized relief
funds and relief expeditions and Am-
erican and British missionaries are
making earnest efforts to relieve the
distress of those people whom they
are able to reach. President Yuan
Shi kai has contributed ten thousand
Chinese dollars (about $40u0 gold)
and the central government has ap-
propriatedalthough it is hard press-
ed for funds one hundred thousand
Chinese dollars.
